Current cryptographic foundations of blockchain are quantum vulnerable

ECDSA, used by most blockchains (like Bitcoin and Ethereum), is breakable by quantum computers via Shor’s algorithm.

80% of security researchers agree current blockchain cryptography lacks future resistance.

Our team spent many days auditing quantum threats to blockchain integrity, sparking QuantaVerse.

Algorithmic Traps, Bot Invasion & Hidden Hate on Social Media

75% of users face emotional fatigue, wasting 6+ hours weekly consuming algorithmically suggested negative content.

72% of content moderators say existing filters fail against regional slang and clever hate speech obfuscation (e.g., “b1tch”).

Our team spent many days analyzing emotional manipulation and AI loopholes in content moderation, sparking QuantaVerse.

Inefficient Storage Consumption in Social Media Platforms

70% of uploaded posts receive zero views after 6 months, wasting over 400 TB of storage daily on content that provides no engagement.

Up to 140 PB of unused data accumulates in just half a year, consuming servers, electricity, and cooling systems, equivalent to powering tens of thousands of homes annually.

65% of data center professionals report storage inefficiency as a top challenge, highlighting that current social media archiving methods fail to handle inactive content effectively.

Why existing platforms fall short…

  • Quantum-vulnerable logins - No PQC integration despite growing quantum threats.
  • Algorithmic echo chambers - Promote harmful content without emotional intelligence.
  • Weak moderation - Bots & slang-based hate bypass filters with ease.
  • No regional support - English-centric, ignoring vast multilingual abuse.
  • Centralized control - Puts user data and freedom at risk.
  • Indefinite storage - Platforms keep every post forever, causing huge waste on content no one views.

Team Name: Lords of the Rings

True Decentralization: Built on ICP blockchain - no central control, no censorship bias.

Emotionally Intelligent Feed: Promotes balanced content based on sentiment trends, not just engagement.�

Bot-Proof by Design: ML-driven spam and bot activity detection to preserve content authenticity.�

AI-Powered Moderation: Real-time sentiment analysis, multilingual hate detection, and context-aware filtering.�

Smart expiry: Posts auto-expire if inactive, freeing storage and cutting waste without hurting engagement.

Why Now?

The convergence of standardized PQC, mature AI models, and scalable chains like ICP makes building secure, decentralized social platforms finally feasible.

Post-Quantum Standards Are Here

Kyber and Dilithium from NIST make PQC-ready authentication finally deployable.

AI Moderation is Accessible

Pre-trained NLP models now allow fast, affordable fine-tuning for toxic content detection.

ICP Enables True Decentralization

Internet Computer Protocol offers scalable infra to build censorship-free social platforms.

The Timing Is Critical

Quantum threats are real, centralized trust is eroding — the shift can’t wait.

Here is how we make/will make money...

Native Cryptocurrency Marketplace: Launch our own token on ICP and incentivize creators to accept it for merch, subscriptions, and services. Builds token demand and fosters a closed-loop creator economy.

Team Name: Lords of the Rings

Pay-to-Unlock Premium Content: Enable creators to post exclusive content (behind a microtransaction paywall) accessible via our coin or NFTs. The platform takes a small cut from each unlock.

Sentiment-Triggered Targeted Partnerships: If a user frequently engages with negative or sad content, our AI detects the pattern and selectively shows personalized offers from wellness partners (e.g., therapy platforms or mental health apps) and earn from them.

Decentralized AI Moderation-as-a-Service: Spin off our AI hate speech/spam detection tools as an API service for other dApps or Web2 platforms. We charge per API call or monthly.

Ad-revenue

Permanent posts: Users pay extra to keep important content (govt, professionals, organizations) always visible beyond 6 months of inactivity.
